Bi-Racial Committee Works
Everywhere—Except Jackson
Racial conflict," says
Mayor Stan R. Brookshire
of Charlotte (N. C.),"can
be converted to an opportunity of raising the level
of citizenship and building
better communities."
Charlotte (N. C.) is one
of two southern cities reported on today by the
Southern Regional Council, in the first of a series
of reports descriptive of
southern cities that in recent months have confronted realistically their
racial problems and have
taken constructive action
to resolve them.
The other report released today deals with
Louisville (Ky.). Subsequent reports in the series
will cover Memphis
(Tenn.), Brunswick (Ga.),
and one other Deep South
city.
The Louisville and
Charlotte studels were by
Benjamin Muse and Pat
Watte rs, respectively,
both of whom are senior
staff members of the
Southern Regional Council.
In Louisville, Muse observers, "race prejudice
may be said to be contained. It is viewed by the
community leadership as
an evil to be combatted,
and it is being combatted
steadily and with increasing effectiveness ... Discrimination on account of
race is frowned upon in
principle — though still
far from being eliminated
in practice."
Both Charlotte and
Louisville have official,
biracial committees
which have guided integration progress. The two
reports describe the organization and functioning
of these in detail. Louisville's Human Relations
Commission is one of the
very few such southern
bodies created by ordinance. Charlotte's Committee on Community Relations was established by
executive action.
In both cities, two for
ces have been chiefly responsible for progress.
These have been firm Negro pressure and intelligent, strong business
leadership—the so-called
"power structure." Race
relations is not, said a
leading Charlotte businessman, "achurch problem. It has to be solved
downtown."
In Louisville, Muse depicts how the community
leadership has been expressed increasingly
through municipal ordinances and offices. In
Charlotte, the same business leadership which has
carried through almost
complete desegregation of
public accommodations
and which has cooperated
with Negro leaders to
make notable gains In employment, has, according
to Watters, taken little Interest in combatting problems of tokenism in
schools and hospitals.
In releasing these two
studies, John H. Wheeler
of Durham, North Carolina, president of the
Southern Regional Council, said:
These studies of Louisville and Charlotte show
how some southern cities
have been able to make
changes of historic importance, with a minimum
of strife. They show also
that we have only begun
to uncover larger problems which have resulted
from racial segregation
in the southern states.
Most of the progress made
in recent years throughout the South may be attributed to the following
factors: effective Negro
leadership; free, enlightened public discussion;
responsible action by the
business community; and
a political climate which
does not frustrate or prevent local initiative.
These same factors will
be needed in our effort
to meet even larger problems which lie ahead.
